The proposed changes break binary compatibility. The patch ignores that for now. As this API hasn't been exposed in any XFree releases yet (according to Ian), we may get away with it. ;-)
I thought of a way (that should have been obvious) to prevent any binary compatability problems: change the function names. If we change the names of the changed functions, the older drivers won't be able to find them with glXGetProcAddress. This will also prevent newer drivers from getting the wrong functions from an older libGL.
